Active Mentoring is a relational discipleship process for both men and women that equips Christ-followers to develop an abiding relationship with Jesus and confidently disciple others in real-life situations. It’s not just another Bible study—it’s about spiritual formation through mentorship.

Active Mentoring is for any man or woman who wants to break free from their past, embrace their identity in Christ, and confidently disciple their family, friends, or community as a Via Friends Leader or Active Mentor.

Mentorship is an ongoing journey of spiritual growth. However, the initial training to become a mentor requires a 20-week commitment, meeting on Monday evenings from 6:30-8:30pm.

To be equipped as an Active Mentor, you will:

• Complete BattleZONE (11 weeks for men) or IdentityZONE (10 weeks for women)

• Complete Ekwip Training (8 weeks)

• Commit to mentoring 3-5 people and scheduling regular meetups under the Via Friends umbrella

• Attend Mentor Meetups 3-4 times a year for connection and encouragement

Yes, the cost for training is $100 per person or $150 per couple to cover materials and resources.

After training, you will immediately begin mentoring others, either by leading a small group (3-5 people) or hosting a Via Friends group. You’ll also stay connected through Mentor Meetups for continued encouragement and support.
